Search engines are changing fast. AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity are reshaping how people discover recipes, tips, and trustworthy content – and most blogs aren’t ready.
You’ve built something real. But if your blog isn’t being picked up and cited by AI, you’re already missing out on traffic, trust and visibility.

This is where AEO comes in.

I’ll help you make smart, simple changes that get your content picked up by AI tools, so your readers and AI engines keep coming back for more.

Wondering how we’ll make it happen?


What is AEO?

The way people find content is changing fast. AEO helps your blog stay relevant and trusted.

AEO = Answer Engine Optimization

AEO, also known as GEO or AIO, is the practice of optimising content for AI engines. AEO helps your content get found and trusted in AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity. Using AEO strategies helps you:

  • Show up in AI answers when people ask questions
  • Get cited as a trusted source
  • Improve your search rankings and EEAT

What is an AEO Audit

An AEO Audit is a personalized review of your blog through the eyes of AI. Instead of guessing what Google, ChatGPT or Perplexity want, I’ll show you exactly:

  • How your content is seen by AI engines
  • What’s blocking your visibility and how to fix it
  • How to improve your structure, language, and signals so AI sees you as a trusted source
  • Where your E-E-A-T could be stronger (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust)
  • What to prioritize to grow faster, without burning out or overhauling everything

Why do I need it?

  • AI is becoming the new gateway to content discovery1 in 10 internet users in the US now use AI tools for online search
  • 700+ million people use ChatGPT every week to find recommendations, articles, recipes and more
  • Traditional search is changing – Google is rolling out AI Overviews, AI Mode, and AI-powered ranking systems
  • This is the new SEO boom – early adopters of SEO saw immense growth, and those who adopt AEO early will have a huge advantage
  • AI isn’t going anywhere – by embracing it now you future-proof your blog for growth, traffic, and monetization

Testimonials

The audit completely shifted my perspective

I thought I knew my blog inside out, but Hanelore’s audit completely shifted my perspective. It gave me new insights into how AI interprets my content, things I hadn’t even realized were gaps or issues. What really stood out was how clear and well-structured the audit was. Every section was easy to follow, and I loved how the Action Tracker provided a practical, prioritized to-do list. I walked away feeling confident and future-proof, with a clear plan to make my blog AI-ready and more visible. This isn’t your typical SEO audit; it’s different, highly valuable in today’s environment, and truly actionable.

Excited to put the steps into action

I didn’t quite know what to expect going into an AEO audit, but I was honestly surprised by how eye-opening it was. What I loved most about Hanelore’s audit was how approachable it felt. I was expecting to be overwhelmed with tech talk, but instead everything was laid out in a way that actually made sense. I had so many “ohhh, I didn’t realise that!” moments about how AI reads my content, and seeing those gaps highlighted was really valuable. The whole process was structured in such an easy-to-follow way, and the Action Tracker really stood out – it gave me a clear roadmap without the usual overwhelm. I walked away feeling lighter, clearer and genuinely excited to put the steps into action.

Strategy Is What Drives Growth

Because even your best posts can’t perform if no one sees them. Let me help you change that!
Hi, I’m Hanelore Dumitrache!

I’m the creator of food blog SugarYums, AI educator, founder of AI startup Whimzi AI, and author of AI for Food Bloggers.

I’ve spent the last few years building my food blog from the ground up, learning what works (and what seriously doesn’t) when it comes to getting your content seen. At the same time, I’ve been knee-deep in the world of AI: launching a tech startup, working with developers, and breaking down complex tools into simple strategies for bloggers.

So if you’re wondering if I get it? I do. I know how much time, love, and energy goes into creating content. I also know how frustrating it is when it feels like every Google update keeps taking your traffic away and AI tools skip over your content.

That’s why I created the AEO Audit: to help real creators like you stay discoverable, credible, and future-proof in this new world of AI-first search.

Let’s make sure your content surfaces consistently and bring back the joy of blogging!

Still Not Sure What You Need?

Let’s figure it out together!

I get it, this AI stuff can feel like a black box. If you’re wondering which audit is right for you, just reach out. I’m happy to answer all your questions!
